| 薪 |
The ki element is most likely from 木 (ki, “wood; timber”) (compare English firewood), but the ultimate etymology is unclear. Theories include:[5]
- Shortening of hypothetical tsumaki, from 爪 (tsuma, “nail; claw”) + 木 (ki).
- Shortening of hypothetical kamaki, from 竈 (kama, “kamado, traditional Japanese cook stove”) + 木 (ki).
- Shift from hypothetical moshiki, from 燃し (moshi, 連用形 (ren'yōkei, “stem or continuative form”) of the verb 燃す (mosu, “to burn”)) + 木 (ki).
- Specialization of 真木 (maki), see Etymology 3 below.
First found in the Shinsen Jikyō, first Japanese dictionary containing native kun'yomi readings of Chinese characters, completed some time between 898–901 CE.[5]

Etymology 3

From Old Japanese, originally from 真 (ma-, “great, excellent”, archaic use) + 木 (ki, “tree”),[6][7] likely from how the trees were well-suited for use as timber.[3]
First attested in the Kojiki of 712 CE in sense 1 and in the Nihon Shoki of 720 CE in sense 2.[7]
